April 30. At the recent short conference tho VA
tona Liberal leaders were disposed to assent 10 .ho
BILL after stating in the Of the debate thae
their acceptance would bo conditional on no 1urther
concessions being made. During the vacation the con-
trovorsy has become most bitter. The unccaslhs
hostile language OF the Catholic press has canscd
revulson In the pacific mood OF tho National lAper'
and Conservative papers. Instead OF now discussihs

for all OF tho KOpp proposals. While 1t Is bcyohu

National Liberals will defeat the combined Ccntrst
